Biography:
Scientific instrument maker of English origin. He was born in Yarmouth or Arnemuiden, and died in Rotterdam, where he had a house at the Noordblaak near the 'Beurs'. Tracy made watches, clocks, mathematical instruments, celestial globes and spheres, of which the Leidsche Sphaera is the most famous. Under the authority of Adriaen Vroesen (Rotterdam regent) and after the instructions and calculations of Nicolaas Stampioen, Tracy designed and built the 'Leidsche Sphaera' (Museum Boerhaave Leiden). His daughter Elisabeth married the horologist Adriaen Hoogendijk (d. 1702), probably Tracy's apprentice. Their son Steven Hoogendijk was the founder of the 'Bataafsch Genootschap der Proefondervindelijke Wijsbegeerte'. After his death Tracy was (possibly) succeeded by the horologist Jan van Wijngaarden.

Biography:
Snellen enrolled at Leiden University in 1748 as a student in law. In 1750 he settled in Dordrecht, where he had inherited Develsteijn (a small castle outside the city), from his uncle Adam van Broeckhuysen (d. 1748), a skilled mechanic and clock maker. It was this uncle who probably had introduced the young Snellen in the craft of making time pieces and sundails. In 1758 Snellen became burgomaster of Dordrecht. In that capacity he was the head of the city clockworks. According to Schotel (1840) this was the reason he got interested in precision time pieces. He grew into a talented amateur instrument maker and designed chronometers and sundials. Again according to Schotel (1840) these instrument were (partly?) made by the horologist Steven Hoogendijk in Rotterdam and the Dordrecht watch maker of Italian decent Civati. In the 1770s Snellen presented a chronometer made by his own design to the Dutch stadholder, prince William V. This was the first chronometer ever made in the Netherlands. In 1791 Snellen bequeathed precision astronomical clocks to two Dutch institutions: (1) the Rotterdam Genootschap voor Proefondervindelijke Wijsbegeerte, and (2) the Leyden Astronomical Observatory. Only the latter has survived. A Snellen chronometer was auctioned in 2004 in New York as part of the inventory of the former Time Museum.

Biography:
Clockmaker from Haarlem, who moved to The Hague in 1643. From 1646 his workshop was located the corner of the Wagenstraat / Veerkade. On the 16th of June 1657, a patent gave him the right for 21 years to make pendulum clocks, according to the system invented by Christiaan Huygens. Many clockmakers were apprenticed or worked for Coster, like Pieter Visbagh, Christiaan Reijnaert, John Fromanteel and Nicolas Hanet. After his death, his widow Jannetje Harmans Hartloop took over the business (until 20-9-1660) probably assisted by John Fromanteel. A year later (1660) Pieter Visbagh bought the firm and rented the house which he bought in 1671.
Made the first pendulum clock for Christiaan Huygens (Huygens' invention of 1657).
